The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Titus 03
1 Remind them to be in subjection to
rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to
be ready for every good work,
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious,
to be gentle, showing all humility
toward all men.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving various lusts and
pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.
4 But when the kindness of God our
Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness which
we did ourselves, but according to his
mercy, he saved us through the washing
of regeneration and renewing by the Holy
Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly
through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7 that being justified by his grace, we
might be made heirs according to the hope
of eternal life.
8 This saying is faithful, and concerning
these things I desire that you insist
confidently, so that those who have
believed God may be careful to maintain
good works. These things are good and
profitable to men;
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies,
strife, and disputes about the law; for
they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Avoid a factious man after a first and
second warning,
11 knowing that such a one is perverted
and sinful, being self-condemned.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus,
be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis,
for I have determined to winter there.
13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on
their journey speedily, that nothing may
be lacking for them.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain
good works to meet necessary needs, that
they may not be unfruitful.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet
those who love us in faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
